Kiwiburn 2027: Moss & Microchips
Imagine a future where advanced technology leads to the unravelling of society. We can see the path to this through technology encouraging isolating individualism over values of community and nature. We can’t avoid the growing role of technology in our lives, so let’s explore how we want to exist in accordance with this and choose how we wish to balance it with our place in the natural world.
This theme encourages you to delve into the extremes of technological advancement and natural spiritualism, and most importantly how we want to exist inside this spectrum. Come embrace your inner faerie, cyberpunk, or anything in-between!
(Thank you Zac Forbes!)
We have a theme, but what about the poster!?
